How do we design a business software solution according to the business processes and requirements of that business?

The various tools we use to analyze business requirements, configure and implement,include the use of graphical flow diagrams to communicate the user requirements, as well as a project plan to monitor the progress of the project. These are agreed upon up front with the user and closely monitored throughout the project’s progress.

Output

Input: What Goes In, Must Come Out

In analyzing your requirements for capturing data into your system we consider the following:

• Source documents
• Number of users
• Number of locations
• Restricted access
• Integration from other systems

Processing: Speed and Data Integrity are Key

The architecture of your network and the way the software is distributed will influence data processing. The following should be considered:

• Hardware and networking requirements
• Number of users
• Number of locations

Output: Begin With the End in Mind

If you understand what needs to come out of the system(output), it will be so much easier to know what should go into the system, and how the data should be processed and stored so that it can be retrieved in a meaningful way. One of our strengths is our expertise with Crystal and FRx report writers.

“Begin with the End in mind”, Steven Covey

Reports should be timely, accurate and useful for decision-making.
